I plan on building a pretty scaled out T6 one day. I already have a set of plans scaled up to the size I want just need to redesign a lot of it to cut some weight.

I would love to see a giant scale p-38 also! make it electric (2x 30cc size) so you don't have to deal with the mess of huge batteries, or dual engine hassle.

I always liked the Diabolo. I had a couple 1.20 sized EZ Arfs Diabolo's back in the day that flew great. Still have one. Seems like someone offered a 1/3 kit years ago.

We had an El diablolo. We had carden El bandito too. That was such an awesome plane. Pretty much like a laser 200.

Those are the main ones I remember pre 3d time. When if you had a g-62 you had the cats meow. When you had a ton of power if you could snapp on take off, pull straight up and could get to about 300 ft before you ran out of power. The good old days!

Jake talks about pre 3-D time...... he was young, but seemed to be a natural at performing what we look back on and call 3-D, at least that's what I have been told! After learning a lot from him, and watching him fly, I agree with all the others that say..... " The Kid could fly a paper sack and everyone would buy one"! Nice Job on Raising an RC 3-D natural Randy! Thanks for Sharing your Knowledge Jake, I sure appreciate it!

Plane on scaling it up a bit for a 35.
